Everything about Strangers In The Night Frank Sinatra Album totally explained
Strangers In The Night is a 1966 (see
1966 in music)
album by
Frank Sinatra.
The album marked Sinatra's return to #1 on the
pop album charts in the mid-1960s, and it consolidated the comeback he started in 1966. Combining pop hits with show tunes and standards, the album creates a balance between big band and pop instrumentation. The single "
Strangers in the Night" also reached #1 on the
pop single charts, while "
Summer Wind" would slowly become a classic, used for television commercials and mood-setting entrances by the 2000s.
At the
Grammy Awards of 1967 Sinatra garnered three
Grammy Awards for his efforts on this album, including the
Album of the Year and
Record of the Year for the title track "
Strangers in the Night", as well as
Best Male Vocal Performance for the same song.
Ernie Freeman's arrangement of the title track won him the
Grammy Award for Best Arrangement Accompanying a Vocalist or Instrumentalist.
This is the final album Sinatra performed with long-time arranger/conductor
Nelson Riddle and his orchestra.
Strangers in the Night has been certified
platinum for 1 million copies sold in the U.S. It is the only "regular" Sinatra album to achieve this mark (the others to do so have been greatest hits/compilation albums, Christmas albums, or the end-of-career "Duets" albums).
